For the first time since 2015, Hempel Real Estate entered downtown Minneapolis through its purchase of LaSalle Plaza. It also bought the parking garage directly across from the building, enabling Hempel to offer free parking to all tenants. Going into 2024, Hempel also plans to begin offering concierge driver service to tenants of the building. CEO Josh Krsnak was Hempel’s first employee back in 2002; he took over as president and CEO in 2014. “We try to go, as the old saying goes, where the puck is going,” Krsnak says.
